Another great class last night, this one on self-awareness as part of the spiritual direction training. It’s a wonderful experience to be part of a group of dedicated people who are so willing to be vulnerable in their sharing right from the get-go. So many commonalities and of course much diversity too.
So today I am immersed in more reading for the next class. Who knew there were this many books written on spiritual direction? They are definitely thought provoking and humbling. I can see myself in so much of what is being said, yet another reminder that we may seem quite different on some levels but at the core we are one.
I can feel something calling for my attention in my heart as I write…I have no words for it at the moment. It’s a kind of aching but not the painful kind. An aching to share the love that is arising? A pressure from within to let go of barriers and just be? A call to pay attention within? All of the above? It’s the same feeling I get in my prayer time. I don’t fully understand it, but I am willing to pay attention be in the mystery of it until I am ready to have it reveal itself, if indeed it ever does.
Namaste
